Burna Boy Announces He’s Leaving Social Media After He Was Called Out

Singer Burna Boy has announced that he would be leaving social media and that his handles will now be controlled by his management.

The announcement might be linked to his recent altercations with social media users after a Twitter user called him out for his comment on streaming numbers which appeared like he was shading Mayorkun .

Burna Boy had tweeted that some musicians actually think streaming numbers is equivalent to talent, which led many fans to think it was a shade thrown at Mayorkun who recently celebrated 70million views across all platforms.

A Twitter user reacted:
